Devastating news just in from Iceland - the Icelandic government will allow whalers to hunt fin whales again after suspending the hunt this summer.
Suggesting that better training for hunters, education and better equipment or killing methods could ever make whaling acceptable is a joke. Killing a whale cannot be done humanely no matter the amount of training. Our team have been engaging with the government and our partners on the ground to expose the cruelty.
This is heartbreaking news, but now is not the time to give up. We will keep fighting until this barbaric killing comes to an end - the majority of Icelanders back an end to whaling, and we stand beside them.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Don't do this - human rights defenders already have images and videos undermined - don't contribute to it by utilizing AI-generated imagery in this way. Yes, there will be ways to use AI-generated imagery for advocacy - this is not it.

De nieuwe @imecVlaanderen #digimeter is er!
De digitale coronaversnelling is een blijvertje. De shift naar online een feit, maar nog niet de norm. Telewerk dankbaar omarmd, maar grotere zorg om digitaal welzijn. Dalend techno-optimisme, en meer bewust in onze relatie met tech
💡 D-day! Zes inzichten uit #digimeter
Hoe gaan Vlamingen om met technologie en media? Vandaag stelt @LievenDeMarez de imec.digimeter 2022-resultaten voor.
Enkele bevindingen op een rijtje 🧵

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.
Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

I am aware of quite a few companies offering legal data protection advice. But I’d love to get pointers to companies offering technical advice on privacy by design / privacy engineering. Please share your information here (or email or..) and I’ll summarise!

“We live in an age when you say casually to somebody 'What's the story on that?' and they can run to the computer and tell you within five seconds. That's fine, but sometimes I’d just as soon continue wondering. We have a deficit of wonder right now.”

Zoom shuts down an NYU academic event on zoom censorship. Facebook asks NYU researchers to stop doing research on political ads. NYU’s response will be interesting to see how even powerful universities can struggle to maintain institutional autonomy vis a vis tech companies.
